Yesterday was Owen's 2nd birthday. We (meaning Jeff, Leah, Matthew, Uncle Martin, Aunt Chellie, David and I and of course the birthday boy himself) went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate; he loves to put the coins the machines and pull the tickets off. He is very good about holding hands and not wandering off so we all took turns escorting him around the place and helping him spend his tokens, as well as the other kids. As expected he was spoiled by all that were there and a few that weren't. Owen and Matthew both haircuts yesterday; Matthew's just got trimmed up, but Owen got most of his hair cut off. It is super cute; you can see his handsome, though somewhat marked up, face. He has a tendency to walk into things or fall down stairs so that when one bruise or scratch is about healed up, he adds another one. Oh well, that's the way it goes.

As for the rest of us...Matthew is finally starting to act like himself again after running a pretty high, unexplainable fever for almost a week. Although now it is my turn to be the sick one the family, with pink eye and the start of what feels like strep throat (I have a doctor appointment tomorrow that will confirm or deny). Leah is doing great and still has an amazing appetite since getting her tonsils removed. Jeff is also doing good, he is currently over at Martin's with Leah and Matthew so he can help with some yard work over there. We have had super weather all week, sunny with no rain, we are keeping our fingers crossed that it will go a few more days.

I am going to go rest a bit before I head over with Owen (once he wakes up from his nap). I will add some pictures from Owen's birthday as soon as I get them on a disc.

So Super Excited!!!

I'm not sure if anyone knows this about me, but I love, love, love Harry Potter. The reason I say this now is because last night I got all 7 audiobooks for my Ipod; now not only can I read them anytime I want, I can have someone else read them to me. Thank heavens for nice people...I work with someone who had them already and he said if I gave him the discs then he would copy them for me and I did, so he did. WooHoo!!!
Leah is doing so much better. She is back to eating all the foods she could not have but wanted and she is feeling much better...still a few pains here and there but overall doing great.
Haven't said much about Matthew and Owen lately; they are both doing good. We are looking forward to Owen's 2nd birthday coming up in 2 short weeks. He is talking very well, almost always in complete sentences and he loves to drive his brother crazy (and his parents). Matthew is all completely potty trained expect at night he wears a pull up...but it is more often than not dry when he wakes up in the morning. Not only is he potty trained but he always uses the big potty and he stands up like a super big boy. We are very proud pf him and excited at the prospect of buying less diapers. Hooray!
Jeff and I are doing okay...trying to get as much time together as possible on the weekends because we do not see each during the week at all. Oh well...gotta run, it's just about nap time.
